Our Rainy Weekend
This weekend Lama Gursam held a mahamudra seminar at our center. On Saturday the skies opened and the rains poured down. The same thing happened when we had a table at the Asian Festival. Maybe we ought to rent ourselves out as rainmakers. The seminar combined talks and meditations. Lama Gursam empasized the practices that he has found most helpful: calm abiding meditation, guru yoga (on Garchen Rinpoche), and meditation on loving kindness and compassion with Chenrezig. The last is my current practice, so it's good to know that Lama thinks highly of it. Lama Gursam seemed more serene than at his last visit. His meditations seem to be having a good effect. He thanked me for managing his web site. It's a simple job, but it's nice to be thanked.
I have put my notes from Traga Rinpoche's talk on the web, if you would like to look at them.
